HM Coroner Wood has had a varied career as an Intensive Care Sister, University Lecturer in Medical Law and Ethics and Family law and Employed Barrister working for the NHS which has laid the foundations for her role of Coroner. HM Coroner Wood was appointed in 2018 initially to the busy West London jurisdiction then later South London, Suffolk, Norfolk and Kent. She enjoyed the experience and flexibility of Assistant work which had its plus points but decided to accept a full time appointment last year in Kent.
